one big idea that is on android roms that could be useful with this application is using volume buttons to move cursor in text. for example, up moves the arrow right and down moves cursor left. will make the lack of hwkb easier for those of us who dont use swype.

It would be helpful.

also means i cant develop it without a computer because ****ING NOKIA DOESNT RELEASE ALL THE DEV SOURCE PACKAGES IN THE DEV REPO.

just so you know, a good deal of the development for this was done on the phone while riding the train, with a btkb. HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE

We could just add those -dev packages into community repository, no?

[edit] btw. how would I start a camera app from the stand-by screen using the button monitor? I'm interested in long tap on vol-up key unlocking the phone and launching the app.

After closer look I think it's impossible at the moment. Why not double press volume keys? Or long press volume up --> flash ON release --> flash OFF.

It works from the low power mode.

When in the gui press 'load default config' and it show in the boxes. Make your changes if any and press 'save config file' and if you don't make any also press 'save config file'. That should work atleast it did for me.

this is a very useful app thingy. Yeah, the GUI may be ugly, but whether that's fixed or not, it still is very handy. Especially the torch part.

glad you like it!

i dont use the gui myself, i made it for the terminal-wary. literally all it does is edit a text a file.

the development headers need to be repackaged by someone with a lot of time, and experience managing these things.


unlocking the phone when you press a volume key is quite tricky. starting the camera app is trivial.

you need to make a script that can be run as user that unlocks the phone.


this will start the camera, but doesnt unlock it:
action=cmd(camera-ui),volumeUp,longClickStart,screenLocked
